Muros do Mar: sinais de gentrificação nos espaços da pesca artesanal da praia da Garça Torta, Maceió - AL

Abstract

The present material contains a set of observations, images and experiences, “from near and within” (MAGNANI, 2002), about the urban development on Garça Torta beach, located on the north coast of the city of Maceió, Alagoas. Through the lines, images and interpretations of ancient and native inhabitants who had the artisanal fishing as their main source of income, accompany the growth of the neighborhood and today they are going through a process of gentrification that reaches directly in the dynamics of flows, local services and interferences in the landscape of the place, we can understand the impacts and consequences on human relations and the environment that the disorderly urban growth provides.
